A Friendly Lady

Carrie Mader’s 
Worth It

Show Description: In this bold and unflinchingly honest one-woman show, Carrie D Mader shares the true story of the night a famous DJ offered her $100,000 to sleep with him  and the unexpected awakening that followed. What begins as a shocking proposition becomes an exploration of self-worth, marriage, and the invisible systems that shape how women see themselves.

Through humor, vulnerability, and raw truth, Carrie unpacks how easily we confuse value with validation and what it takes to reclaim both. WORTH IT isn’t about blame; it’s about freedom.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth or learned to play small to feel safe, this show will remind you: your fullness isn’t a threat, it’s your super power.

Artist Biography: Carrie D. Mader (Writer & Performer) is a designer, storyteller, and creator whose work explores feminine power, conditioning, and self-worth. She is the founder of Naked & Unafraid, a women’s book club devoted to reclaiming joy and inner freedom, and the creator of SheSwayz™, an AI-powered app for women over 35 inspired by the two books that woke her from her own slumber: Unbound and The Untethered Soul.

After years of creative work behind the scenes, WORTH IT marks Carrie’s return to the stage, a homecoming to the passion she first discovered starring in her high school musicals. When she’s not writing or performing, she designs spaces both physical and emotional that help people feel more like themselves. You can find more about Carrie at www.carriedmader.com

Koorosh Ostowari’s
Part 2: Zombie Nation – The Hunger for More

Show Description: A 20-minute Comedy-Drama Solo Performance

The descent continues in part 2 as Zombie Nation shifts its lens toward the unconscious habits rotting the core of modern society.

Koorosh masterfully deconstructs the justifications used by the powerful, weaving together the exploitation of the working class with the weaponization of the Christian Gospels. By examining the perversion of scripture—from Genesis to the Second Coming—the performance exposes how “faith” is often used to mask a lust for profit. Beyond the satire, it is a poignant reflection on loneliness, isolation, and the urgent need to reclaim our shared humanity.

Artist Biography: As an immigrant, playwright, and solo performer, Koorosh Ostowari utilizes the stage as a “journalistic vehicle for truth-telling.” His work is a fusion of deep study and lived experience, weaving together narratives that confront the friction of urban chaos and political hypocrisy. By blending biting satire with documentary-style drama, Koorosh challenges his audience to look past the surface of current events to see the systemic truths beneath.

Following a successful 2025 run of his acclaimed show, “Grandma’s Million Dollar Scheme,” at the San Francisco Marsh, Koorosh continues to use performance to spark dialogue and inspire meaningful change. He invites audiences into a provocative theatrical space where comedy, drama, and social commentary collide to expose the realities of the modern world.
